　　1. Alipay may launch a gold red envelope internal grayscale test

　　According to many sources, Alipay’s golden red envelopes may be launched during the Spring Festival. The gold gameplay is designated as a top secret project within Alipay, and the team responsible for gold has been preparing in the retreat room for nearly four months. However, I asked Alipay insiders to confirm that it did not agree with the gold gameplay. It is understood that more than a week ago, at a very small discussion meeting in Beijing, Alipay employees inadvertently revealed that they would launch a golden red envelope during the Spring Festival when discussing with a few Internet industry insiders. According to an industry insider who participated at the time, "Compared with cash, gold has a higher degree of surprise to users during the Spring Festival, especially for middle-aged and elderly users." From a visual image of an internal grayscale test, the word "Golden Year, Fu Mantang" is very prominent. It is said that there are two or three versions of the gameplay, and it is not ruled out that it is combined with red envelope gameplay such as AR and one-word Qianjin. (Source: 36kr)
